- D Moving data between different storage locations
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
✅ Changing the size of the warehouse (e.g., from Small to Medium or Vice Versa).
Explanation:
In Snowflake, scaling up or down a warehouse refers to resizing its compute capacity. This means:
Increasing or decreasing the T-shirt size (e.g., from Small to Medium)
Each size change doubles or halves the compute resources
It affects query performance and cost, but not concurrency
❌ Adjusting the number of clusters – That’s scaling out/in in a multi-cluster warehouse
❌ Moving data between storage locations – Snowflake handles storage independently of compute
❌ Changing the region of the warehouse – Region is fixed at the account level
